> What dose of Gabitril are you taking? How much weight have you gained? Do you feel as if your appetite is out of control? I'm glad it's helping you feel more in control and not tormented. Still, the other stuff is troubling.I take ten mg of Gabitril in 2 doses, that's not very much is it? The ap is out of control and stuck on corn chips and burgers, I recently had nothing but take-out pizza for 6 days in a row.
No exercise and smoking too much, I've put on 12 lbs, there's something wrong w/my will to survive that I'm dealing w/ more and more, I think. At least I feel sad now everytime I buy a pack of cigarettes. So, the crummy lifestyle habits have always been w/me regardless of the medication, I guess in my earlier post I was hoping someone would come in and say This is your medication, not you! Go on Topomax at once!
I wish! I'd like to ask my doc to put me on it but he knows I want to lose weight and won't hold w/that motivation.
Funny but I can ruminate over problems for hours and just posting them on the board jumpstarts my brain into thinking differently about them, sometimes even before reading a response. Anybody else got that going on, I wonder?
